I like to record the Coast To Coast AM radio program which airs on local
radio from 12am to 5am nightly. I have a TV-VCR combo that will support
recording an external source.
In the front of the TV-VCR there are two female RCA [1] inputs, one input
labeled Video and the other input labeled Audio. In the rear of the TV-VCR
there are -- two pairs -- of RCA inputs, one pair labeled Audio in and
Audio
out and the other pair labeled Audio in and Audio out.
I know I can set the TV-VCR to Line 1 to record input from an external
device. Can somebody help explain to me how to wire the speakers (output)
of
an AM radio to interface with the TV-VCR to enable recording radio
programming (input) to the VCR?
Before you blow your power transistor on that classic radio I would go
to Walmart and buy this nice radio that does what you need for under
$50.

or spend twenty dollars and do it like below with what you have and
$20 of add-on stuff.
********************************************************************
Use a microphone mounted on front of the radio speaker plugged into
this amplifier below.

Then use the cord with plugs below on the amplifiers earphone jack
output into the line input rca input of the VCR.

I like George and his radio mannerism, over lunch I would ask him, do
you buy all this creative thinking?
Good Luck,

I got the mic and the amp all worked out and use headphones to confirm the
amp is picking up the audio from the mic for output. Can't get the damn
TV-VCR to record despite the correct 1/8" to RCA cord to Audio Input on the
TV-VCR. Tried both quick record mode and timed record mode neither want to
record the Audio In when TV-VCR is set to Line 1 or Line 2. Out of options
for now but appreciate the great idea...
